Lenders’ mortgage insurance (LMI) is an extra cost borrowers typically pay if their home loan deposit is less than 20% of the property purchase price.

Not all lenders require LMI, but in some cases it can be beneficial for you.
I can help you explore your lending and LMI alternatives. Get in touch: https://bit.ly//49ufGnH

Being pre-approved for a loan can give you a clear view on how much you can borrow, helping to narrow down the search for your next house or car.

Keep in mind, pre-approvals are valid for a certain number of days so check the dates and understand what happens if you don’t buy within that period.
If you need support with pre-approval, I can help. Reach out today: https://bit.ly//49ufGnH 🙂👍

Family Trusts Just One of 7 ATO Targets This Year – What You Need to Know

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has shifted firmly from pandemic-era leniency to a broad compliance crackdown, with family trusts just one of seven major focus areas for 2026. The ATO is now closely scrutinising strategies commonly used by higher-income Australians and small business owners to minimise tax.

Key areas under review include:
⚠️ Family trust elections (FTEs) and historic errors triggering family trust distribution tax
⚠️ Income splitting via trusts, companies and partnerships (especially personal services income)
⚠️ Holiday homes claiming deductions while being used mainly for private purposes
⚠️ Everett assignments used by professional firm partners
⚠️ Philanthropic structures providing indirect benefits to families or related entities
⚠️ Unpaid present entitlements (UPEs) following the Bendel High Court case
⚠️ Franking credits and bucket companies, including 45-day holding period breaches

The ATO has made it clear that intergenerational wealth transfers and trust-based succession planning are now high-risk areas. While limited amnesties and interest relief exist for those who self-correct, enforcement activity is expected to increase through 2026.

At Skyways Accountants Ipswich, we help individuals, professionals and family businesses review trust structures, fix historic issues, and reduce ATO risk before penalties apply.

📞 Contact Skyways Accountants Ipswich for proactive tax advice, trust reviews and compliance planning in this new ATO enforcement environment.
